- Title
The Art of Christian Apology: Comparing the French Catholic Church's Apology to the Jews and the Vatican's "We Remember".
- Authors
Henry, Patrick
- Abstract
The article compares the September 30, 1997 apology made by the French Catholic Church with the March 16, 1998 Vatican Apology titled "We Remember." The comparison is relative to the context of public apologies made to Jews for any role of the Church in the Jewish Holocaust. In the author's view, the French apology appears heartfelt while the Vatican's apology avoids admitting to any failure of the Church during the period. The article also discusses the political and religious factors that delayed the French Catholic Church's apology.
